hi. Thank you for your article. It made me think about "The Good Wife", which I very much enjoyed, even though at one point, towards the last episodes I felt it was losing its hold on me. I also loved "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow": I am not a gamer either, but I appreciated some games in the past and always felt they had the "dignity of Art" (with a capital A). I don't mean to sound pompous, but the novel very much stresses the point, while telling the life and sorrows of the characters, and the complexity and dedication to their work.

I totally agree with you! It did so many things well. Still thinking about it years later.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it! I listened to the audiobook and thought it was really well done.

Thank you so much for the warning on that last book, which sounded interesting - however, I just lost my 15-year-old dog 2 weeks ago and I know I am not ready to read anything like that yet.

This is SUCH an excellent post, and I'm adding the Art of the Scandal to my list. (Also hi fellow DC Substacker!)
